The Healthy Organisation Approach

Ask most senior managers to define a healthy organisation and they are likely to describe an organisation which is highly productive and profitable. An organisation with great products and services which meets customer needs.

Increasingly, however, managers are starting to realise that a healthy organisation is also one comprising happy healthy employees. An organisation where employees are performing at their best, and taking as little time off work as possible.

To achieve this, an organisation needs to:

  1. Implement effective health and wellbeing, stress, performance and absence management processes.
  2. Help individuals take responsibility for their own health and well being. - Provide employees with information and help them adopt healthier lifestyles, improve their performance and increase their resilience to stress and common mental health problems.
  3. Help managers be more effective people managers.

Unfortunately, such interventions are often less effective than anticipated and this is usually for one or more of the following reasons:

  • Employees are cynical and doubt the good intentions of the organisation.
  • Policies and procedures are poorly communicated so staff are unaware of their existence
    or are unfamiliar with help that is available.
  • Policies and procedures lack feasibility which makes them difficult to implement.
  • Managers do not understand their rationale and therefore do not allocate the time or resources to carry out procedures properly.
  • Managers do not have the skills or confidence to tackle the issues and so avoid them.

If organisations try to address these problems, they usually do so by treating stress, absence and performance as separate entities. However, all three are actually interrelated.

  1. Stress gives rise to poor employee performance and illness which results in absence
  2. Poor performance and absence cause more stress for the other employees
  3. This reduces the performance and increases absence of others

    A vicious circle is created

As the three concepts are linked, the strategies and management skills required to deal with them are very similar. It is therefore very time and cost effective to address all three together.
